On February 10th, DISTANT, the multi-national down-tempo/Deathcore act that emerged from Rotterdam, The Netherlands as well as from Bratislava, Slovakia, will release their third full-length, “Heritage”, via Century Media Records. The band has dropped an official video for their new single “Argent Justice”, directed by Dylan Gould (Stay Goulden).
Their new single feat 16 vocalists from SUISIDE SILENCE, EMMURE, BODYSNATCHER, CABAL, PALEFACE, ANGELMAKER, CARCOSA, CROWN MAGNETAR, ABBIE FALLS, ACRANIUS, TEN56., WORM SHEPERD and DISTANT!!
Vocalist Alan Grnja, comments: “The inspiration for that came from animated shows in the ‘90s where Spider Man would team up with X-Men and stuff like that! We did that on a track in 2020 called ‘Argent Debt’ where we had five other people. We were inspired by being on tour in America and so many of us jumping up onstage and playing together. Every vocalist on this track sounds unique. It’s a bright, colorful rainbow of Deathcore singers!”
DISTANT has become one of the prominent faces of European Deathcore. Melding together Brutal Death Metal, Slam, Noise and beatdown with a hyper-dissonant orchestra of impending doom, they’ve come eons since their origins as Metalcore obsessed friends in Rotterdam and Bratislava. ‘Heritage”, the quintet’s Century Media debut and third installment of bone crushing, thick-as-concrete heaviness, takes their trademark “Downtempo/Deathcore” and pushes it into the red. “It’s low and slow,” smirks Alan Grnja, describing the band’s sound. “Musically, lyrically, we try to travel the uncharted and come up with something you can only call DISTANT.”
Produced by the band’s guitarist Nouri Yetgin and WITHIN DESTRUCTION guitarist Howard Fang plus co-producer Simone Pietroforte, “Heritage” is DISTANT’s coming of age and reckoning moment. “This is the perfect DISTANT record,” says Alan. “I want it to be a genre-defining album in the same way ‘The Cleansing’ was for SUISIDE SILENCE – I would say this album is for us.”
